Launching a Data Connection

To launch a data connection:

1.

Press

for Main Menu.

2.

Press

for Web.

3.

If necessary, press the navigation key up, select Connect, and
press

. (Your data connection will launch and the home

page will display.)

While connecting, the following will appear on the screen: Internet -
Connecting...
.

If you had a previous data connection, the last page you visited (for
example, a messaging page or a news page) will display when you
launch your browser. When this occurs, you may not see the
“Connecting...” message when you launch the session. Though the
browser is open, you are not currently in an active data session –
that is, no data is being sent or received. As soon as you navigate to
another page, the active session will launch and you will see the
“Connecting...” message.

Connection Status and Indicators

Your phone's display lets you know the current status of your

data connection through indicators which appear at the top of the
screen. The following symbols are used:

Your data connection is active (data is being transferred); the
transmit/receive symbol will blink to indicate data transmission.
Incoming voice calls go directly to voicemail; outgoing voice calls
can be made, but the data connection will terminate.

Your data connection is dormant (no data is being sent

or received). Though not currently active, when dormant the
phone can restart an active connection quickly; voice calls can
be made and received.

Your phone is not currently able to access data service features.

If no indicator appears, your phone does not have a current

data connection. To launch a connection, see “Launching a Data
Connection” on page 110.

Shortcut:

You can also press and hold the middle of the navigation key to
launch the Web.
